Feng ready to shine in LPGA spotlight
(China Daily)
Updated: 2009-02-24 11:16 Discouraged from swimming by a sinking backstroke and then from tennis by a lack of mobility, she discovered golf as a 10-year old when her father began creating a Guangzhou junior team. She went on to become a three-time China amateur champion. She later finished eighth in the 2006 Asian Games (current world No 2 Tseng Yani of Taiwan came fourth) then moved to the United States to attend the International Junior Golf Academy in South Carolina. Feng won four times on the International Junior Golf Tour in 2006-2007 before becoming the first Chinese player to earn an LPGA Tour card. That she will inevitably become the first Chinese winner on the LPGA is, in her caddie's mind, a given - if only because she thrives in the spotlight. "I think she enjoys the pressure of the cameras on her and the crowd around her," Shellard said. "She's not gun-shy at all." China Daily
